| Newbie Regular Member  Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Quivering under some blankets. Location: UK Posts: 9 Join Date: Jan 2012 |  Hello There (I just realised I'm going to have to put my name on here) I'm Leaving216, I'm almost 17, and I'm just starting to come to terms with this whole 'being gay' thing after spending a good 18 months in denial. I've got a sickeningly pretentious music taste, play guitar, and excel at being socially awkward. I have no idea who I would tell in 'real life' (I'd be terrified they'd just tell everyone else, and I'm nowhere near ready for that) and I figured this would be a good place to just come and see how other people like me deal with it. So yeah, Hi! |

| EC Advisor EC Admin Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Out to everyone Location: northern CA Posts: 5,582 Join Date: May 2008 | Re: Hello There Welcome! You've already started the process simply by telling us! There's no rush to tell anyone else, and I think as you spend time here and read and contribute, you'll start to feel more comfortable about who you are, and that will make it easier to come out. But for now, just relax. Read. Learn. Talk about anything that concerns you, no matter how dumb you might perceive it to be, there are no dumb questions here And if you want to speak with someone one-on-one, our team of advisors are here to help. So feel free to message me or any of the other advisor team and we'll be happy to talk to you. |
